Vanessa Jae@vanessajae.bsky.social · 6mo agoI didn't get to make a "best speculative poetry of 2025" post due to my ongoing broken bone saga, but I at least want to highlight the poems I accepted for Strange Horizons this year (psst you can nominate them for the Hugo award):
"A Mermaid Falls in Love with Icarus" is a characteristic Elena Sichrovsky poem - unapologetically raw and grotesque with a sprinkle of beautiful imagery. strangehorizons.com/wordpress/po...
